“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:”
Matthew 9:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 9:20
The woman 'which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years' suffered both physical pain and ceremonial uncleanness (Leviticus 15:25-27), making her a social and religious outcast. Her approach from behind reflects shame and faith—'If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole' (v. 21). Touching Jesus should have defiled Him, but instead, her touch in faith brought healing. Her action demonstrates bold faith overcoming shame.
